Oil on canvas

A rainy day in Burgundy. Scouring the Brocante. It was amazing what lay inside that doorway.

Upstairs Downstairs

I have been catching up on missed episodes of Downton Abbey. Inspired today to post this collection of fantastic pieces I found in Provence.

Taxidermy

When I was a stylist working in Toronto I often had to find Taxidermy creatures for photographers.
None were as sweet as these friends from France

Patisserie

Indulgence is wonderful when in France.

Brocante

French Brocante. It gets my heart racing. I wish my suitcase could hold more things.

Child's Play

I have been busy getting ready for  The Christie Antique Show.  Unpacking all of my fabulous finds, creating vignettes .... enjoying my creative world.
When I was growing up nobody told me there would be such fun days ahead.
Some say it is hard work.
I think it is child's play.

Sweet Table

Vintage sweet table. I finally found a beautiful way to display my chocolate mold collection.

Plum Pretty

Hand painted porcelain,  amethyst glass. Both are just plum pretty.

Top Hat

I have always had a fascination with the elegant top hat.

Ironstone

Black and white antique Ironstone. I adore it even with chips and cracks.

Anemone

Anemone. One of my favourite blooms. Delicate petals with a dark, mysterious center.

So lovely.

Muscari

When I see these beauties at the flower markets I know that spring is finally here.

Sorbet

Soft pink milk glass love. Anemone, fragrant hyacinths, freesia and narcissus.

Meringue and Blue Milk Glass

We are deep into winter and I am dreaming of sweeter days ahead.

Portieux Vallerysthal Milk Glass Compote sweetened with Meringue.

I found this beautiful milk glass compote at one of my favourite antique stores

in Michigan. Tucked away on the bottom shelf, waiting to be discovered

and loved again.
